What all you can do in Sikkim - summarized:

Inclusive of your Sikkim tour price, you will land at Pakyong Airport and take a cab to Gangtok if you have chosen our Sikkim honeymoon package with flight for your trip. By the time you get in the capital city, you will be worn out from the journey and just want to unwind. To enjoy the gorgeous Teesta river, which is undoubtedly a pleasure to behold, you could take a brief detour, though. On your Sikkim tour package for family, go to the MG Marg, where everyone from the city congregates, if you have the energy. It is fantastic that there are cafes and a few booksellers there. Instead, visit a spa and have a beautiful, protracted massage  and you'll be as fresh as a daisy the next day.

Because you will be exhausted after the previous day's travel, we recommend seeing Nathu La in the early part of the day and then spending the second half of the day touring Gangtok. Inclusive of your Sikkim tour packages with price, Nathu La is a famous mountain pass that was part of the old silk road connecting China and India. During the Indo-China conflict of 1962, it was closed and reopened during the rule of late Atal Bihari Vajpayee. It is now both a pass for cars transporting commodities between the two nations (supposedly, Parle G is one of the most coveted Indian products in China) and a destination for couples on our Sikkim honeymoon tour packages. To be honest, there isn't much to see (besides a sneak peek into China and some pretty hideous Chinese architecture) but the road-trip from Gangtok is beautiful. If you are traveling during tourist season on our Sikkim tour from Kolkata make sure you go early and get a pass else you can be stuck in the traffic for a long time!

Make a stop at the beautiful Tsomgo (or Changu) lake on your Sikkim travel plan or if on your way back. Soak a walk around the beautiful lake and take in the scenery. If you travel in the winter, the entire region is blanketed in snow, and the scenery is breathtaking! Stop at the Bakthang waterfalls on the way back to Gangtok. On your full Sikkim tour packages, there are numerous tea vendors there as well, so you might be able to get a hot cup of chai as well. If you didn't go to the MG Marg the day before, go today. Exclusive of your Sikkim package cost, have a cup of coffee and a late lunch there (we recommend The Coffee Shop), and then go to Rachna Book Store if you prefer books. to enjoy the sunset head over to Denzong Regency hotel - make sure you reach a little in advance so that you can have some chai and then watch the sun go down.

As you may have guessed, this excursion will not provide you with much opportunity to rest. So, if you want to be more relaxed here, we recommend staying another day in Gangtok, exclusive of your Sikkim tourism packages price and simply enjoying the city. If you’ve chosen our Guwahati to Sikkim, Pune to Sikkim, and Mumbai to Sikkim tour package, take a walk about the neighborhoods, speak to the residents, go watch a football match (it's a true obsession here), sip local tea and eat local food (not only in the hotel), and perhaps have a massage if you are here on our Sikkim tour package for 5 days couple.

About Rumtek:

Let's go over some history to have a better understanding of the 'Rumtek debate.' Karma Kagyu is one of four major schools of Tibetan Buddhism. The Dalai Lama is also the head of a school, although he is universally regarded as the highest leader. Karmapa is the name given to the leader of the Karma Kagyu tradition. In any case, when China invaded Tibet in 1959, the Dalai Lama fled to India via Tezpur (Assam). Along with him, the 16th Karmapa fled to Sikkim, where he established his monastery at the Rumtek Monastery, which was then in ruins.

When a Karmapa dies, he leaves a secret message to his followers informing them of his rebirth. Some think that this secret text was tampered with, and that after his death, two new Karmapas arose, each claiming to be his reincarnation. Even now, both continue to stake their claim to the throne. More controversy erupted when one of the Karmapas was suspected of spying for China. The Indian government barred any of the two parties from taking over the Rumtek Monastery because to the controversy and occasionally violent battles between them.

As a result, the monastery has been without a leader since the 16th Karmapa. A large army bandobast is present to prevent any of the Karmapas from establishing themselves at Rumtek. The Indian government's position on the Karmapa isn't quite clear, and we've done our best throughout the years to merely preserve the status quo.

If on our Bangalore to Sikkim package, you could easily spend an entire day learning about the area and immersing yourself in the local culture. If you don't have the time, go on to Pelling. Then visit the Temi Tea Garden. Tea isn't something most people associate with Sikkim, but believe it or not, Sikkim also produces its own tea and is rather well-known for it! But the history of tea in Sikkim isn't that long - stick around and you'll discover something new today.

Tea arrived in what is now known as Sikkim only in the 1960s, although even that has a strong China link. When China invaded Tibet in 1959, India took in hundreds of thousands of refugees (imagine that occurring in modern India), and many of them were relocated in Sikkim. There was suddenly a vast workforce but no job, which is usually a formula for catastrophe. So the monarch of Sikkim (which was not yet a part of India at the time) decided to establish a tea plantation to give employment, and Temi Tea Garden was born! It is a pretty big tea plantation, and much of the tea produced here is exported. If you're lucky, you might be able to enjoy a drink as well. You may also stop at Ravangla, which includes a massive golden Buddha statue against a mountain backdrop. It's a breathtaking view. Finally, before arriving in Pelling, halt at a rice terrace field. Take as many photos as you like.

Where to stay in Gangtok?

On your Sikkim trip in Gangtok, The Elgin Nor-Khill is a great location to stay, and we highly recommend it. It's a historic hotel, and it lives up to the billing. The only disadvantage is that the view from the room isn't spectacular. If you desire a view, stay at Denzong Regency, which offers a beautiful view of both the city and the mountains. However, you’ve nothing to worry about if you’ve booked our deals of Sikkim honeymoon package price. As at AkbarTravels, you can choose whichever package best suits you needs and budget for a worry-free trip!

If you are departing Gangtok, we recommend that you leave very early in the morning. Request a packed breakfast from your accommodation and enjoy it when you visit Rumtek Monastery, one of the most well-known in the state. It's a beautiful monastery, but its tale is much more intriguing. It is now better renowned for the controversy that has surrounded it.

Where to stay in Pelling?

On your Sikkim trip, note that pelling is a little but attractive town that is also quite popular with visitors, therefore there are more hotels than dwellings, as well as hotels for various budgets. If you're on a tight budget, we recommend strolling along the town's main street and finding a hotel there. The Elgin Mount Pandim, on the other hand, is a site we would suggest. It's a heritage luxury house with a stunning view of the magnificent Kanchenjunga mountain. However, you’ve nothing to worry about if you’ve booked our deals of Hyderabad to Sikkim, Ahmedabad to Sikkim, and Chennai to Sikkim tour packages. As at AkbarTravels, you can choose whichever package best suits you needs and budget for a worry-free trip!

Make the most of your Sikkim sightseeing packages as you begin your day with a cup of chai in the hotel's gorgeous rear garden (Elgin) before heading out to Khecheopalri Lake. It's a sacred lake, and you may get there by taking a short stroll through the forest once you park your car. Arrive early in the morning to experience the most serene portion of your journey - only the sounds of nature and the rustling of prayer flags. You may also stop at the Rimbi Falls, which are on the road and worth visiting. You can't swim here during or just after the monsoon since the water is too powerful, but you may get near to it.

After lunch at the hotel or a local restaurant, proceed to one of the most important monasteries in Sikkim's history - Pemayangtse monastery. It's actually quite near to the Elgin hotel, and you can even walk there. Later in the day, explore the town by strolling around the local market, mingling with the residents, or simply relaxing in the rear garden with a cup of chai or a local beer.

Then go to Darjeeling! When you arrive in Darjeeling, check into your accommodation and proceed to Mall Road for a brief tour of the city. Did you know that Darjeeling was previously a part of Sikkim before being lent to the British? When India attained independence, the King of Sikkim wrote to the Government of India (GOI) demanding that their territory be returned to them. Darjeeling is still closer to Sikkim in terms of language, culture, and people. In fact, when asked if Sikkim wanted Darjeeling back, they said no because they were concerned about the problems the region would bring!

Where to stay in Darjeeling?

On your Sikkim group tour packages, note that you may stay at The Elgin in Darjeeling, another heritage home that, like the others in Gangtok and Pelling, we can confidently suggest. The view of the city from your hotel would be truly breathtaking, so if you stay here, request a room with a view of the valley. You can enjoy the city thoroughly and then come back to the Hotel for a good night’s sleep. At AkbarTravels, you can choose whichever package best suits you needs and budget for a worry-free trip! On the final day, leave for the airport according to your departure schedule! We know it will be difficult to say goodbye to this gorgeous location, but you must definitely plan to return to discover additional off-the-beaten-path pathways!

When is the best time to visit Sikkim?

The summer season, which lasts from mid-April to mid-June, is characterized by warm temperatures and gorgeous sky. From late September to November, the weather is nice, cherry trees are in blossom, and the skies periodically clear enough to provide views of Kanchenjunga. A great opportunity to select our Sikkim tour package for 6 days, but watch our for an alert for road closures when it gets really cold.

What to eat in Sikkim?

A basic food is rice, which is typically eaten with dal, wild vegetables, and pickles like the scorchingly spicy Dalley chili pickle.

The dishes phing (glass noodles), shisnu (nettle soup), gundruk (fermented spinach), and gyathuk are also well-liked (soup with homemade macaroni and local herbs). Momos and thukpa, two delicacies from Tibet, are commonly accessible.

What to shop?

On your Sikkim luxury tour packages, get a chance to shop at a more relaxed pace. some of the nicest items to purchase in Sikkim's marketplaces are paintings of Thangkas, Tibetan crockery, prayer wheels, bamboo antiques, Lepcha weave purses, Choksee tables, and woollen carpets and blankets decorated with traditional Sikkimese themes and colours. If on our Sikkim honeymoon packages from Ahmedabad, a must do is a Yak Safari, which is a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and is a need for everyone visiting Sikkim.
